Software or Hardware issue ? unable to transfer data from PC via type C cable - General Questions and Answers

ASUS ZS551KL(dark blue) failed to transfer data from PC via type C cable but charging works.
ZS551KL did not ask me "allow to transfer from PC" after connecting to type C cable as usual.
same cable works to another ZS551KL(white).
But Type C USB flash driver works well with both.
It occurred one day suddenly. All of those accessories are the same as before(cables、PC).
Could anyone help?

Thank you
I did but remain same.

If rebooting PC & phone hasn't resolved, one way of testing phone's USB-C port would be trying ADB (e.g. "adb.exe shell ls -l /place/of/interest", "adb.exe pull /place/of/interest/desired*files" following setup like https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide.html ). HTH

[Q] ADB (again)

I have installed the moto drivers and then connect my Xoom to the B port. I have debugging turned on.
Here's what I get:
E:\xoom>adb devices
List of devices attached
161c110242c015d7 offline
E:\xoom>adb shell
error: device offline
I have run clean and reinstall on the installer without any change.
Any advice?
You need to be in the folder on your computer with adb in it.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
I am in that folder.
Is your device locked? As in, do you have a lock password/PIN that you need to input first?
Try a different cable.
Different cable no help. Any other ideas?
Just an idea... are you using a USB hub or one of the USB ports from the front of your PC? Sometimes these ports don't provide enough power to communicate with certain devices. Try one of the ports on the back of the PC.
Other than that, reboot your PC and the Xoom and try again
I'll be darned! I plugged it into the back (USB port on motherboard) instead of the front and voila!
You are the man!
Now that you have answered that question so well, please answer this one!
I am trying to run adb install xxxx.apk but it just hangs. I have the Xoom set to allow installation of non-market applications.
Any ideas?
Never mind - a reboot all around fixed that. Thanks for everyone's help.

[Q] TF101 usb dosent't get connected to linux and windows...

Ok,
I'm not new here but Im new with a TF101...
I have 3 rooted devices at home.
Now when I plug the TF that I bought used, it dosent get detected. I mean at all!
Not "!" yellow in windows and nothing it linux, no noise nothing.
I have usb dev checked...

Any way to root without computer?
I've been having the exact same problem for a few months now , I reckon i either have a faulty usb cable or the port has been damaged . I hope there's a software fix for this .

I've not managed to fix it yet . When i plug my TF into my pc it seems to think its charging but the pc doesn't register it at all , if i get a new usb cable and it works i'll report back .
Well does anyone know if this is a problem with the cable or not ?

I have the same problem. I sent my tf101 to the Asus service center to have it repaired. When it came back it would connect to the PC. After a few months it would not connect. Same problem. It appears to me to be software related somehow. In my case the cable has nothing to do with it. None of the suggestions on this or other forums work. Asus does not respond. Maybe Jelly Bean will fix it. Or maybe not.
are you able to ./adb connect to the asus via usb? if so then that will tell you that the problem is not the cable, it's not the usb version, it's not the device hardware. its likely a driver install issue in windows. i would boot into android and make sure that android debugging is selected in the developer settings menu. then try an adb connection. im not sure about how to install all the stupid drivers in windows because i do everything in linux and its soooooo much simpler.
f it is in fact the hardware cable or port that is not working properly then you can always move files to and from the device over wlan connection, with either adb tcp connection, or using some file manager such as es file explorer. just remember as long as you can get an
./adb connection to your android then anything is fixable. ADB IS YOUR FRIEND. get to know it well.
same problem here...tried everything except format the pc (running windows 7)
I have a simple question for the people WITHOUT problem connecting tf101: when you connect the tablet (mtp or not) what do you see on the screen of the pc? something related to autoplay? Are you able to copy, move files to and from the tf101 like a usb stick?

I dont ever connect my devices as mass storage to he computers at all. i just do everything via ./adb usb or ./adb tcp connections over wifi. or i use es file explorer setup as an ftp server on my devices and move files around that way if i need to. but i went ahead and pulled out my windows asus tf101 drivers and sync app and linked them for you at the bottom. my advice really is to lose windows and stick with doing everything on android with linux. soooo much better.

thank you for your long reply! and obv for the files, I'll give it a try!
I admit that sometimes I used swiftp (over wifi) but every time I have to disconnect pc & tablet from the modem...Sometimes use bluetooth but it's too too slow!!! thank you again!!!
I understand but how do you root using adb tcp???

when I rooted moths ago I used "razorclaw" (and my tf101 is a b70). I use adb with other devices and is very cool but I never need to use with the tf101...

ok so adb over a tcp connection it works pretty much like adb over usb except your connection is done over the network. so lets say your tf101 and your computer are both on the same WLAN. you can enable enable adb over tcp and connect to it with the computer over the network. however to enable adb tcp connections you need to already have root.

I have both Linux and Windows systems. My TF101 does not connect on either machine. My assumption is I have a internal problem. I have tried two different cables and systems. I need to ROOT the TF101 and upgrade to Jelly Bean. From this post I am told to use ./adb commands over tcp and I appreciate that, but I need to have a rooted TF101.
The ultimate question is can I root the TF101 without using the usb connector? I suspect not, but will defer to the expert developers.
I have tried with settings in various selections like MTP "yes" or "no", Developer USB "yes" or "no" or both on or off at the same time. I have loaded and unloaded Windows Asus Sync and USB drivers many times.
The strange thing is if I am attached to the keyboard, I can see any USB thumb drives attached to the keyboard including my USB serial adapter. I would think USB would not work if the cable does not work. Also if anyone has a link to instructions for loading ADB on Linux Mint 13 64bit, I would appreciate the link.
Thank you in advance.
beware of usb cable
Hi,I personnally own a TF101 sb50.
I had some trouble with usb. Tha cable was ok for charging but didn t register correctly under an usb connection ( it showed up and got kicked out in windows didn t register in lsusb on linux)
If you check the diagram for the cable, it s well endowed there 's resistance inside the cable, and multiple connection.
Depending on your version it doesn t use the same pin, even if it's the same cable.
You can buy a cable on ebay for around 10 euro in europe ( i did it s ok) or buy it cheaper from china(no idea about quality).
to sum it up even if your cable work with another TF, it doesn t mean your cable is not faulty ( i have bounce a nano osci on the faulty cable , and it showed no apparent flaw.) and buying a new one was the solution for me.
good luck for rooting (sb50 :: no need to adb)
The ADB thru WiFi solution worked perfectly for me thankfully, and I am one of the many others who have been having major trouble getting Windows and Linux to recognize the Intercept.
Not sure if this is a duplicate post somewhere, but here's my version using Linux:
1. Go to the Play Store and download the 'ADB over Wifi Widget' app.
2. After installed on your device, the app should be on your home screen. Tap it once to toggle on. You should see an IP address and a port #.
Note the IP address, as this is the address of your device.
3. Open a terminal in Linux.
4. CD to the folder that contains your ADB files. (example: cd /androidsdk/platform-tools)
5. Enter the following code:
chmod 755 ./adb
./adb connect <enter IP address here without brackets of course>
6. You should now be connected to your phone.
Hope this helps...

ok when you say that the tf101 doesnt connect in either your windows or linux machine, what do you mean exactly? you mean it doesnt show up as a mass storage device or an MTP device? and have you downloaded and installed the android-sdk in linux? and when you connect the tf101 to your linux machine, do yo uhave usb debugging enabled in the developer settings menu, and are you using the "./adb devices" command in the linux terminal from your /android-sdk/platform-tools/ directory?
also you should be able to flash a custom recovery which will enable you to flash custom rom without using the usb cable. theres a couple files that you need to put on your tf101 in the /sdcard/ directory first.
one is the recovery blob and if you want to keep the stock rom and kernel but just root it then youll need the superuser zip i have included both of them at the bottom.
for starters you need to install a terminal emulator app on the tf101 from the play store.
then once you have the recovery blob on your device in /sdcard/ you can continue. (remember /sdcard/ is the internal memory not the micro sd card)
start the terminal emulator on the tf101 and enter these commands.
mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
exit
(open another terminal window on the tf101 and enter these commands)
ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /data/local/tmp
exit
(now reboot the tf101 when it boots into android start the terminal emulator app again then enter these comands)
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryblob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
exit
(now you should have a team rogue recovery flashed to your tf101)
reboot your tf101.
now you can hold the vol -down button while you power on the tf101 you will see a message at the top of the screen that says soomething like "Checking for RCK" when you see that press the vol- up button right away, this should boot you into the team rogue recovery where you can flash custom roms or just flash your superuser.zip to get root.
hopefully this makes sense and hopefully it works for you.
remember you have to extract the recoveryblob from the zip folder before you move it to the /sdcard/ on your asus. the superuser.zip can remain zipped though.
I had the same problem:
windows will not notice my transformer (rooted).
( usb debugging is on, android 4.0.3 with Android Revolution HD 3.5.1.)
i know in the past it works.
adb list ( of devices) ist empty also. Same Problem with the two cables i have.
can you give me a help what i can do?
Sorry for my poor english

[Q] Oxygen OS Install has banjaxed my USB connectivity.

Ive just installed OxygenOS and when i insert a usb cable the one shows charging but it shows in both the computer and the one that there is no usb cable connected. (settings>storage>3 vertical dots>USB computer connection--> says Connect your device to a computer to access USB connection settings.) Here is what i have found....
1) Its the same cable ive always used
2) connecting my one to another computer with that cable and same results
3) connection another one to my computer with the cable works fine
4) connecting another one to another computer with cable works fine
5) I can reboot the one in fast boot with "fastboot reboot" via Command Prompt
6) I can adb push files to it as well
Please if anyone has had this issue or knows how to fix it PLEASE let me know. Im slamming my head on my desk right now.

How to enable USB debuggin with broken touchscreen?

Hi
I have a old nexus with broken touchscreen . I want to use it via mirror on pc.
unfortunatly USB debuggin wasn't enable so i can't install any app.
any tips?
thanks
PS: i saw many use usb adapter to connect a mouse but i don't have it
EDIT: right now i just need a rom/kernel with USB debugging mode enabled by default
the screen still works , only the touch screen is broken
power , and volume bottons still work
the device is rooted
If it's only installing apps you could install them via recovery. (as zip)
Or you could check for a cheap replacement touchscreen.

sorry i forgot to mention that i need USB debuggin for make the app works correctly.
I'm trying now to find out what rom i have installed and maybe then find a kernel with OTG support . (yes i found a otg cable )
i'm not a expert of rooting
I think google has an app called voice control. Not sure how operational it is though. Supposedly you can control the entire system via voice.

Boot into Recovery and mount*Data*partition.
Open a shell on PC and type:
adb pull /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config ~/
Repace*~/*with home directory of your OS.
Open that file in a text editor and you would possibly see*mtp*written there. Change it to*mtp,adb.
Note that sometimes Android doesn't understand the text file changes if the line terminator is "DOS Terminators" which Notepad would probably do on Windows (mine is Linux so no issue here).
In that case, I would suggest not using*adb pullbut doing:
adb shell echo 'mtp,adb' > /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config
You may verify that the*echo*command overwrote the file by using:
adb pull /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config ~/
and seeing the file's content in some text editor.
Unmount*Data*and reboot into Android OS. USB Debugging would probably be enabled.

i tryed
1) i went in recovery mode
2) i connect via usb the nexus4 to my pc
3)went in "mounts and storage"
4)then "mount /data"
5)in cmd i tryed your command "adb pull /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config" but i says i'm unauthorized
i checked via command "adb devices" and it return a alphanumerica string plus "unauthorized"
i tryed then to
Reboot your phone into recovery mode.
Connect it to your computer.
Open the terminal and type:
cd ~/.android
adb push adbkey.pub /data/misc/adb/adb_keys
adb shell reboot
but it still says error : device unauthorizated . please check the confirmation dialog on your device
i tryed also with a different version of adb and now gives me after "adb devices" an "offline" response
NB: if i connect the phone (not in recovery mode) via usb i can copy files in and out (i can explore onlyfew folders) , maybe this could help.

Sorry but this could not help... Now only thing you can do is connect any USB mouse to your phone via otg cable (as it is not costly also), and you can also try USB gamepad. I also have used USB gamepad before when my touchscreen was not working.
Second thing you can do is download any android device manager for your PC like mobogenie or mobilego they directly install any app from play store to you android device, through USB.And I don't think they need USB debugging option to be enabled.

my problem is not installing an app (i could do it in recovery mode with a .zip) but enabling the USB debuggin
I have a otg cable but not the "Y" type ( the one with power source ) , also i don't know if OTG is supported by my kernel . I would like to install maybe another kernel which has OTG support and usb debuggin mode enable by default but i don't know what kind of rom i have D:
right now i just need a rom/kernel with USB debugging mode enabled by default

Question Phone can't recognize USB or ADB

Hello all,
My OnePlus 7 Pro, can't recognize USB through my Windows PC, I don't get the prompt to connect to my Win PC.
Also I enabled ADB with Developter Options. I go to fastboot and also after adb devices and fastboot devices command, he can't recognize my device.
My OnePlus 5T is working with ADB and normal USB Win PC, tried two cables and laptops.
I did an run Android 10, now 11, beta etc nothing works! The phone can charge etc.
Please help. Reset etc tried also.
it is known issue ADB don't work on USB 3.0 ports
just goto BIOS > Advanced > USB > XHCI and change the setting to Disabled.
This will make the ports run in USB 2 mode, and fastboot and ADB works as usual.

Can't confirm this. At least latest version of ADB works at me with USB 3.x ports.
Nvm I didn't read the thread well if the PC can detect the other phone on ADB perhaps you can try "revoking USB debugging authorization" so it would ask for permission again
